Dave Gettleman is quietly putting together a better draft than last year.

Sorry Gettleman doubters, this year's draft has been pretty genius. 

 

The NFL gives him 9 draft picks, but thanks to last year he really doesn't need that many. Solution? Turn the 9 picks into 5 picks and target your guys. Address areas of need (WR, Tackle) but also draft a guy that will change the entire defense for you in Shaq. And he STILL has 2 fifth rounders to select. 

 

It is like watching Michelangelo in very high coaching shorts paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Our good late round and UDFA picks last year really helped us out, giving us the ability to do that.  I'm really beginning to like the depth everywhere on our team sans offensive line and safety.

I'm thankful that someone else sees the brilliance in this draft. Gettleman has earned the right to take risks like this.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
